Honoring Alison Stromingof Dance Theatre of Harlem

Alison Stroming was adopted from Recife, Brazil at the age of four months and started dancing when she was three years old. She was accepted to The School of American Ballet where she began her formal ballet training at the age of nine. She attended the American Ballet Theater Summer Intensive in New York in 2004. Franco De Vita, principal of the JKO School at ABT, offered her a full scholarship to the new Junior Division.​Alison says that her “advice for young dancers of color is….to be themselves….and let their differences be their strength.”We are thrilled to honor her as a role model for our girls.
